Whether or not drugs are considered ‘bad’ is dependant on their position in society. If the government are giving the army LSD – it is considered a serious scientific experiment but if it is being used by hippies in the 1960s, its status and perception changes. This is true also of cannabis. If it is a class B drug, it is not considered very dangerous. If it is a class C drug, it is perceived to be less dangerous, less glamorous and subsequently less desirable. Cannabis is sometimes prescribed to people who suffer from arthritis… if it was to be rebranded as a granny’s way of getting high, there would be less people smoking it….
